Hyderabad, IndiaFull-timePosted 17 Jul 2026

AI tools welcome

We expect people to use the best tools available, including AI. Working effectively with them is a strength, not a shortcut — bring it to your interview.

First principles

We reason from the ground up and value people who understand why, not only how. Correctness is a shared standard.

High trust

Small team, real ownership, honest communication. You will have room to do the best work of your career.

01 Platform Architect Own the shape of the systems everything else stands on. Full-time · Hyderabad, India · On-site · Posted 17 Jul 2026 · Open

You will define how a trust platform is built: service boundaries, data architecture, security model, and the standards the whole engineering organisation inherits. Infrastructure portability is a hard constraint — systems that move cleanly between cloud and owned hardware without re-architecture.

You will

  • Own end-to-end platform architecture — service boundaries, contracts, data model — as the single accountable technical authority
  • Design for portability: containerised services, environment-agnostic configuration, storage that works across S3-compatible and on-premise object stores
  • Establish AI-native platform foundations — agentic workflow governance, MCP-compatible interfaces, on-premise LLM serving, vector-database integration as platform primitives
  • Embed zero-trust security architecture: mutual TLS, least-privilege identity, segmentation, audit logging as a platform primitive
  • Set and enforce engineering standards — architectural review, API contracts, testing, observability — across the team

We look for

  • Deep experience owning the architecture of complex multi-service platforms in production
  • Strong command of cloud architecture (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and the principles of migrating workloads to owned hardware without re-platforming
  • Fluency in event-driven architectures, message queues, distributed data consistency, and failure-domain isolation
  • Understanding of platforms where cryptographic guarantees and HSM integration are architectural inputs, not afterthoughts
  • Clear technical writing — your design documents settle arguments

Level: set by demonstrated ability, not years. Exceptional earlier-career candidates are read with full attention. AI tools are part of our interviews — bring your AI favorites; we would love to see how you think alongside them.

02 AI Engineer — Semiconductor Intelligence Build the intelligence layer that speaks the language of silicon. Full-time · Hyderabad, India · On-site · Posted 17 Jul 2026 · Open

You will build and operate the AI systems at the heart of the platform — retrieval over dense technical corpora, fully self-hosted LLM serving, and the evaluation discipline that makes AI output trustworthy in a domain where wrong answers are expensive.

You will

  • Design and build RAG pipelines over semiconductor and regulatory corpora — grounded, citeable, honest about uncertainty
  • Operate and optimise the self-hosted LLM inference stack on owned hardware — quantisation, batching, latency and memory budgets
  • Build evaluation harnesses that measure usefulness and factual grounding, not vibes
  • Engineer guardrails: uncertainty surfacing, output validation, refusal behavior
  • Build data pipelines that turn raw technical corpora into indexed, retrievable intelligence

We look for

  • Shipped LLM-backed features in production — beyond demos
  • Hands-on self-hosted LLM deployment experience (vLLM or equivalent) and vector-database depth
  • Strong Python engineering; you treat AI systems as software, with tests
  • Retrieval and evaluation depth — chunking, embedding, relevance, regression suites
  • Skepticism as a design tool — you assume the model is wrong until shown otherwise

Level: set by demonstrated ability, not years. Exceptional earlier-career candidates are read with full attention. AI tools are part of our interviews — bring your AI favorites; we would love to see how you think alongside them.

03 AI Agent Architect Architect the agentic systems that do real work under real governance. Full-time · Hyderabad, India · On-site · Posted 17 Jul 2026 · Open

You will design multi-agent systems that plan, use tools, and execute multi-step work — with the governance layer that makes agents safe on a platform handling sensitive IP: permissions, resource limits, audit trails, and human-in-the-loop gates.

You will

  • Architect multi-agent systems using modern frameworks — LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or equivalent
  • Design tool-use interfaces with clear contracts, structured inputs and outputs, and disciplined error handling
  • Build agent governance: RBAC, resource budgets, observability, and audit trails appropriate to sensitive-IP work
  • Design human-in-the-loop checkpoints where autonomy must yield to judgment
  • Define the platform's MCP-compatible service surface so agents are first-class, governed citizens

We look for

  • Hands-on experience with modern agent frameworks in production, not just notebooks
  • Systems thinking about orchestration: state, retries, idempotency, failure recovery
  • Security instinct for agentic systems — capability scoping, prompt-injection awareness, least privilege
  • Strong Python engineering and API design
  • Judgment about where agents genuinely help and where they should not act

04 Data Engineer Build the pipelines that turn design data into dependable intelligence. Full-time · Hyderabad, India · On-site · Posted 17 Jul 2026 · Open

You will build the data layer beneath the platform's intelligence — ingestion, quality filtering, deduplication, lineage, and indexing for corpora that range from regulatory documents to design artifacts — portable from cloud to owned hardware without redesign.

You will

  • Build ingestion and processing pipelines for technical documents and design artifacts
  • Own vector and search indexing — chunking, embedding, refresh cycles, and relevance quality
  • Implement data-quality gates, deduplication, and lineage tracking across every pipeline
  • Operate data infrastructure across cloud and owned on-premise hardware
  • Serve AI and product teams with datasets they can trust — measured, not assumed

We look for

  • Production data-pipeline engineering, Python-first
  • Hands-on vector-store and search-relevance experience
  • Rigor about data quality and lineage — you instrument it
  • Comfort with messy real-world documents at scale
  • Care for tiering and what should never be indexed

05 Full Stack Engineer Build the product, edge to edge. Full-time · Hyderabad, India · On-site · Posted 17 Jul 2026 · Open

You will build across the whole surface — Python/FastAPI services on the back, modern React on the front — with the correctness discipline of a platform whose records carry real weight, and deployment habits that keep everything provider-decoupled.

You will

  • Build production services in Python/FastAPI — async patterns, dependency injection, typed contracts
  • Build product interfaces in modern React — dashboards, verification views, workflow surfaces
  • Own features end to end: schema, API, UI, tests, deployment
  • Keep services containerised, environment-configured, and provider-decoupled — fast on cloud, portable to owned hardware without rework
  • Write the tests that would catch you: negative paths, concurrency, edge cases

We look for

  • Strong production experience across backend (Python) and frontend (React or equivalent)
  • Database competence — schemas, transactions, query discipline

You will

  • Implement and maintain signing services, key hierarchies, and certificate issuance paths
  • Integrate hardware security modules and design key ceremonies that survive audit
  • Build canonicalization, verification, and tamper-detection logic with exhaustive negative testing
  • Work with post-quantum schemes (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA) alongside classical ECDSA
  • Write test batteries that attack our own claims before anyone else can

We look for

  • Applied cryptography in production — signing, PKI, HSMs, or equivalent depth
  • Standards fluency: FIPS 203/204/205, RFC 3161, X.509, and the discipline to follow them exactly
  • The never-roll-your-own instinct, paired with the skill to wire primitives correctly
